The Sigma 5 at CMU (which had at one time been used for NMR studies) will
shortly be moved to the CMHC. There was a story in today's Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette about it, which you can see here:

I am in need of a 5 1/4" floppy boot disk for an AST Premium 386/25 running DOS 6.22. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Since you didn't mention it, I assume you don't have an external
SCSI CD-ROM. DO you have an internal CD-ROM you could temporarily stick in
the VS3100? I have NetBSD/VAX 1.5 on CD, and drop a copy in the mail to you
possibly...

Years ago, I heard somewhere that it stood for "Gee Whiz" BASIC,
though I've no idea why or even if this is accurate.

Here's a copy of a message I sent out a little while ago, didn't get
any real info responses... If my procs would work in the PC64, could I get
my hands on one (or two)? Would the PC64 fit in the AS200 case? If you have
any other info too, that would be appreciated. THanks in advance...
... I have here a pair of EV4 21064 200MHz CPUs, p/n 21-35023-21.
One was from an AlphaStation 200 4/100, (dead power supply, m/b
seems to be dead), apparently an upgrade...
I was wondering if there is a dual-processor motherboard I could use
these on (and where to find one), or what other machines I could use them
in...
In my DEC3000 System Programmer's Reference, it says the DEC
3000/500X uses the 200MHz 21064. I assume this is the same (as I have
above). If so, I could bump my 3000/400 from 133 MHz to 200MHz, right?
Would any jumpers need to be changed?
But a dual 200MHz motherboard would be a little more fun...

I snagged a very clean Osborne at the Junk Fest today but no disks. I
thought I could use 22disk on my Wintel box but then found out the Oz is
single density and this Wintel box won't write single-density. Okay, so I
can use MFDISK10 on my Kaypro 10 to generate a bootable Oz, disk right?
Well, MFDISK10 is missing in action. Hmm. So I found and downloaded
MFDISK10 from the 'net, put it on a Kaypro disk, ran the program, and got
as far as "use the arrow keys to move around," but the arrow keys do not
move the cursor, so I am unable to select a disk type from the menu. Hmm.
Broken arrow keys? So, I fired up WordStar and the arrow keys work fine in
WS.
So, I need help in either:
1 -- finding out why the arrow keys don't work in MFDISK10
or
2 -- getting some other program to run on my Kaypro which will create Oz
disks
or
3 -- obtaining some Osborne disks (last choice)
TIA,
Glen

Uhh, what?
No way.
*A* strength of a DECstation is that it's a graphical workstation.
But it's certainly quite useful as a headless machine as well. I'm
not running any anymore, but as recently as a year ago I had a few
headless DECstations doing a great deal of real work.

hello,
i?ve got a VaxStation M38 with harddisk, but is has no drives. the
NetBSD-Install-HowTo says how to make boot-tapes (TK50). i could make a boot
tape with my (ix86) NetBSD computer, but i have no SCSI-TK50 tapedrive.
could i use an old qic tapedrive (also scsi, up to 150Mb)?
i also have an PDP-11/73, this one has two harddisks (RD54 maybe?), 4 megs
of ram, a TK50 drive (the connector looks like scsi, but in the drive only
few pins are connected, so i suppose this is not scsi) and 2 huge RL02.
there is no system on it. on a wbsite i found BSD 2.11 should run on this
pdp-11, but is it free? where can i get it? and again, how to get the image
on TK50 Tape without any SCSI-TK50 drive?
where could i get a scsi-TK50 drive?
many questions...
maybe someone can help

Makes sense. Timing on the Intel part was a bit tricky, I seem to recall.
Or maybe it just seemed that way to a beginner, at the time :-)
But I just came across (while loooking for something completely different)
a reference to a BCD subtract on the NEC part (or one of them). What was
that about?
